Summer Family Photos at the Park, Buena Vista Family Photographer


I’m in love with these sweet summer family photos at the park in Buena Vista, CO! When it comes to kiddos, let’s grab a swing & throw rocks in the river. That’s where the magic is!


Summer Family Photos at the Park, Buena Vista Family Photographer

Living in Fairplay, CO, we’re located almost perfectly between Breckenridge & Buena Vista – two vastly different little towns, each with their own beautiful charm. It allows a great variety of potential locations for summer family photos – like this playful session in Buena Vista!

When clients become friends, it’s honestly the icing on the cake AND the cherry on top.

We’ve known Blake & Lauren for YEARS.
We first met in a previous life when I (Shanna) was working at a wedding & event rental shop in Colorado Springs. They came in for rentals for their big day in BV!
They then hired us for their wedding film – see it here! Our very first blog post, by the way.
We’ve worked together with Blake for launch content for The Inn at BV – see that here!
They modeled for us when we relaunched our partner brand, Summit Mountain Weddings. That’s here. 🙂
We’ve stayed in touch & followed along with each other’s lives as we’ve added babies, changed jobs, moved towns & houses, and more.

And finally, we’ve been able to capture their sweet crew for this set of playful summer family photos at their favorite park in their favorite town.

We couldn’t love this sweet family more.

Wedding Photo & Video at The Lodge at Breckenridge


For inspiration for wedding photo & video at The Lodge at Breckenridge, look no further than Alex & Ethan’s gorgeous, perfect day!


Wedding Photo & Video at The Lodge at Breckenridge

When it comes to idyllic mountain weddings, Alex and Ethan’s wedding day at The Lodge at Breckenridge was straight out of a fairytale. Nestled in the heart of Breckenridge, this stunning venue provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. As your go-to local team specializing in wedding photo and video at The Lodge at Breckenridge, we were honored to capture their beautiful celebration from start to finish.

A mountain venue that takes your breath away

Literally – because perched at over 10,000 feet, The Lodge at Breckenridge offers sweeping views of the Tenmile Range and Blue River Valley – and a shortage of oxygen. 😉 It’s also got a cute rustic charm & modern amenities. The couple chose the Lodge not only for its scenic beauty but also for its intimate atmosphere, which allowed their closest family and friends to feel right at home.

They had a stunning mountain ceremony – even the wind that knocked over their arbor added to the magic.

The ceremony took place on the Lodge’s outdoor deck, which boasts one of the most breathtaking views in all of Colorado. Alex and Ethan exchanged tearful vows as the wind brought in the rain. It was such a magical moment.

As a team who provides wedding photo and video at The Lodge at Breckenridge, we were thrilled to document this day. From Alex’s wholehearted & joyful disbelief as she walked down the aisle to the tearful smiles during their vows to the ecstatic applause as they shared their first kiss as a married couple, every moment was pure magic.

The honor to be chosen as your wedding photo & video team isn’t something we take lightly!

We know how important it is to document each couple’s unique love story – it’s not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. For Alex and Ethan, their day was a perfect blend of elegance, nature, and heartfelt moments. And tons of laughter, too!

Our wedding photo & video approach combines candid moments with posed artistry, ensuring the final gallery and highlight film tell a complete story. YOUR complete story. From the gorgeous mountains they chose Breckenridge for to the smallest details they put hours into perfecting, every element of Alex & Ethan’s day was preserved in vivid, beautiful detail for them to relive for years to come.

We’re so excited for you to watch their wedding film!

It was THE MOST FUN being able to provide wedding photo & video at the Lodge at Breckenridge for Alex & Ethan’s beautiful day. To you, A+E – thank you so much for trusting us!

Can’t forget this pretty day.

Meet Kayle Burns with Petal & Bean.

Kayle reached out to ask us to help her share more about her why. We dived into the story of Petal & Bean, and how they serve couples in Summit County. Take a look at the final brand film.

We joined Kayle & her team for an afternoon of flower prep – experiencing the ins & outs of preparing & designing the beautiful arrangements they create for their couples.

We snapped a few casual headshots & group photos, and primarily focused on the brand film storytelling aspect with interviews & b-roll to dive into the story.

Anniversary Photo Session at Officers Gulch


Everything is worth celebrating. This anniversary photo session at Officers Gulch is the perfect example of documenting all of life’s moments.


Anniversary Photo Session at Officers Gulch

We firmly believe there are no moments too small that they aren’t worth celebrating & documenting. Engagements, 1st anniversary, 7th anniversary, just because it’s Tuesday – it’s all worth taking the photos & recognizing the beauty in your own life.

Angela & Kennth’s snowy anniversary photo session at Officers Gulch was such a lovely reminder of the importance of noticing each moment & celebrating each year.

It was amazing meeting these two! They were vacationing in Breckenridge for their 4th wedding anniversary – and acted like the sweetest newly-weds! They brought along a small bluetooth speaker & danced together to their favorite playlist. It was a true joy to witness.

I love when couples schedule their photo session at Officers Gulch. It’s one of our favorite Summit County locations, especially in the winter! It’s easy to get to & doesn’t require a big hike – in fact, almost all of Angela & Kennth’s photos were just 50′ from the parking lot! The only other people there didn’t arrive until we were leaving, so it was quiet, private, and such a perfect spot for this session.

What’s the next photo session you’re scheduling? I’d love to photograph you!

Black Mountain Lodge Wedding at Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort


Alexis & Joe’s Black Mountain Lodge wedding ceremony at the iconic Abasin Ski Resort ended with a first kiss perfectly covered by the most PERFECT rainbow.


black mountain lodge wedding at Abasin by Basecamp Visual

If you’re lucky enough to experience a Black Mountain Lodge wedding at the beautiful Arapahoe Basin, you’ll see that it boasts some of the best views in Summit County!

Alexis & Joe had an incredible wedding day at Black Mountain Lodge this August – and it was our second rainy wedding ceremony of the weekend! This one felt extra special because right before the moment of their first kiss the most vibrant, beautiful rainbow appeared right behind them! Side note: Remember this rainbow during Erin & Connor’s engagement session?! INCREDIBLE.

We joined the lovely Hannah, of New West Weddings & Events, who worked her magic pulling together all of Alexis & Joe’s beautiful DIY details – and just look at her perfectly tossing Alexis’ train during the first look! We especially loved the signage & fun polaroid seating chart wall! What’s so great about a wedding at A-basin, though, is that decor can be kept super minimal if that’s your preference – those views truly do speak for themselves, rain or shine (or rainbows, too!)

This wedding day was truly an honor to be a part of. A huge thank you to Alexis & Joe for trusting us, and to the entire vendor team for making this day so beautiful.

If you’re looking for A-basin wedding inspiration, look no further! Except at these photos – definitely look at those. 🙂
